' holder with an integral projection or stop to limit its outward movement wherebythe- 'use of solder is eliminated and to accomplish this result, I have provided a resilient stop, cut and raised from thebridge portion of the U shaped slide which stop will 'yield on the slide being inserted into the open end 0t si-lientl yi engage anarticle .in' the slidin membe'nand' the following-fie a deta-iledde-y. fscription o.: t the present QlfibQGliIllGIltSvOf-IDY p I invention and showing one construction by results {may jbe-g siliently grip a card .21 or the like 8 is a perspective view of amodithe body te 7 permit the be v i into; aslot in theiedge wallet thebody; I

It is alsofound desirable to form as re:-i silient finger for retaimingv the slip of: paper; or other article imthellieceipt case, which L;

have formed 'bycutting ma suitable po r f tionsoi the stock of the slide to-provid-e. a finger; which n1aygb.e-, bent inwardly togre,

which these advantageous accompl shed.

With reference to the ta -w n s; 10 desig natesthe body member whichmay; be formed j of' sheet metal folded into substantially box shape and provided with a slot 11. in. one of.

itsedge Walls the body having, a: closure 12 at. one end withia suitable ring 13, for S1157;

pendingthe receptacle-if desired. ,{The op posite end of the body isopen to receive a slide member 14 which telescopes within the body. The'slide member 1 L, is first cut fromf sheet stocln-as .ill-ustratedgin. Figure 2;;Hthe

cut away to form a fingerQO, whiclrmay be suitably bent toward. the; back wall to re trated in Figure 1.

The bridge portion ofthe slide has a stop" 22, cut and raised'therefrom adjacent one of its ends, this stop being sufficiently re-' i silient to ,yieldori engagement with the end i portion 23 of the slottededge wall to perk .mit the slide 14, to be inserted into the body member and the stop to snap into'the slot and the end portion 2% of the stop to form an abutment-for. engagement with the end of the slot to limit the outward movement of the'slide member. There is also provideda raised portion 25 adjacent this stop 22, top resiliently engage the portion 23 of .the edge 7 as illuswall to. steady and hold the slide firm when the same is in extended position. A cap 26;, is secured to. theend of-theslide to form" an ornamental end for the receptacle when the slide is in closed position and .to also form a fingerengaiging portion for drawing the slide outwardly into extended position, the body beingsuitably cut away as at 27,, to

provide a recess for insertion of finger nail to more readily grip the end portion 26.

g I have illustratedin Figure 6, the side Walls 17 and 18, of the slideas normally 'dise posed at a slighttangle to each other-so as to yieldingly frietionally engage the side 1 \VilllSOf the body member, but in some cases, I may cut and raise a portion 28 of the stock of the side Wall as I have illustrated in Figure 8 to provide for this resilient trio tional engagement between the members.

My improved receptacle is extremely simple'in construction and yet practical inits operation and may be conveniently carried in a pocketof the user or suspended froma cord, and'is adaptedto' contain a small article, suchas a license, cards, stanipsfor "the like to protect the same While being car- {ried'in a persons pocket and to prevent same from being inadvertently n'risplacedorlost. The foregoing descript on s-dlrected sole- Ily' towards the'construction illustrated, but

' I desire it to be i'inderstood that I reserve t the privilege of resorting to all the mechanical changesto which the device is susceptible,

the invention-beingdefined and limited only by the terms of the appended claims.- I clalm 1. A receptacle comprising a box shaped j said projection being suificiently.resilient to yield against the edge Wall of said body to permit said slide to be inserted through said opening at the end thereof and said projection to snap into saidslot. 7

2; A receptaclefcomprising a box shaped body member having an elongated slot in one of its edge walls, a sheetmetal U shaped slide therein, an integral "resilient stop of said U slide to extend into'said slot and a resilient portion raised from said bridge adjacent said stop to engage the end portion of the slotted edge Wall tohold said slide iirm When in extended position.

3AA receptacle comprising a 'bo'x'shaped body member having spaced front, backand side Walls With-an open end, an articleholdinguneinber shdably telescoping in said body memberthrough saidfope'n end comprism'g'a U shaped slide'positioned to have "the open bottom of the U shaped slide along one of 'the' side walls: and progressively eX- posed as drawn trointhe body member, and

means including the resilience of the slide sides for'maintai-ning the slide in position,

in the body meniber.
